We have a spider issue in our motorhome and are curious what people use to get rid of them. I bought the Bug B Gone spray from Home Depot and that seems to work a little bit on the ants and stuff, but we still have spiders. We see at least one a day in there. We went back to Home Depot bought some organic spider spray stuff from Home Depot and it seems to work a little bit too, but we still see some wandering around. Is there anything that works better that we just aren’t thinking of? Thank you so much in advance

This is a very old solution that works. Hedge Apples which is the fruit of the Osage Orange tree. These trees are common alone roadsides in the Midwest. They about the size of a softball. Slice them, place on a saucer and lay them out in several locations.

The best thing I have found for spiders, fleas and other critters are Raid Fumigators. It's a dry "smoke" that does not leave a residue and is safe for pets and people once the rooms air out.

I spray the undercarraige and around any slide seals etc. with Ortho Home Defense. Lasts a couple months or more. Kills 'em dead. You will see some slow white spiders for a couple days and then nothing.

Home defense on the underside. I also use it on the window/ door edges outside like a barrier. I do this for my home also. Helps alot, good luck. Just keep animals away till it drys.

I would suggest Borax powder in the back of cabinets on the floor level. It is good to take care of MANY critters and is very safe..

You have another infestation of some kind. The spiders will die out when there is nothing for them to eat.

I second Lt Dan's suggestion of the Raid fumigation product.

I use home defense at home and it works. Also works great on the boat.
(haven't had the problem in my RV yet)
